Chapter 226
Amelia listened to Ryan''s words and suddenly thought of George, remembering that two months
ago, George had been ill and admitted to the hospital and she had struggled not to visit him, except
twice while he was in aa. Amelia wondered if George would me her for being unfaithful.
At this time, the phone rang. Amelia put the towel into the basin and said to Ryan, "I''ll take a call. If
you feel cold, put on your clothes."
Ryan nodded with a smile and thought, "Amelia is a thoughtful girl."
Coming to the door outside, Amelia pressed the answer button, and there was a rush of
congrattions from Milton on the other end of the line, "Amelia! Congrattions on your new life!"
"What?" Amelia asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Milton excitedly said, "Today at 2 pm! Ourpany held a press conference for you and Shawn,
both to clear up the rumors and to officially announce to everyone that you and Shawn are the
spokespersons for Roxxon Corporation ''the water of life''! You''re going to be famous! Do you think
that''s worth a congrattion?"
Amelia was full of questions. "Wait, wait, wait, how did I be the spokesperson for ''the water of
life''? And what''s the press conference? Why don''t I
know anything!"
Milton faked a cough and said awkwardly, "Even though I hate to admit it, thanks to Patrick that
you''ve made this smooth turnaround. All the rumors about you and Shawn have been reced by
new content, and even the press conference today was Patrick''s idea for our ad agency, All in all,
he''s done a good job this time, you just have to cooperate with our activities."
Incredulous, Amelia asked excitedly, "You mean... I... I and Shawn have put an end to all the
rumors? Now that if I''m out I don''t have to be masked, and Shawn''s female fans won''t suddenly
rush up and beat me up when they see me?"
Miltonughed, "Don''t worry, you''re just Shawn''s partner now. Patrick''s using a lot of bots on
Facebook, they are all promoting The Water of Life, you don''t know how momentum it is! And the
comments discussing you and Shawn are long gone."
"Thank God... "Amelia just felt released. She couldn''t even sleep well at night because of this. She
often dreamed that she was being chased by arge group of people, and she kept running and
running until she was stuck in a dead-end and couldn''t run anymore.
She woke up suddenly at this point, and when she woke up, she had a sleepless night. She was
afraid that the nightmare woulde true.
In case she missed any important information, Amelia made a quick confirmation, "I''ll be at your
office for a press conference today at 2:00 p.m., right?"
After a moment''s thought Milton said, "Even though you''re naturally beautiful, you''d bettere
over this afternoon in makeup, since so many cameras are shooting there."
Amelia thought for a moment and felt that Milton''s words made sense. "Okay."
"Also, I''ll send a copy of the article to your emailter. You can just recite it, so you won''t get stage
fright when the reporters ask you questions. Patrick and I will handle the rest! By the way, it''s really
lucky for Shawn to film amercial with you. Why can''t I have this kind of luck..."
Hearing Milton said something off- topic, Amelia cryptically said, "Thank you so much for helping me
every time."
"If you really want to thank me, after the press conference is done, just invite me to your house to
have a meal," Milton said with a smile.
Amelia was stunned, and she thought about it seriously. As one of her best friends, Milton had
never been invited to her home as a guest. Moreover, he helped her many times.
Seeing that Amelia had not answered for a long time, Milton said habitually, "I''m just joking with you,
that''s it. See you at two o''clock."
After the call, Amelia went into the ward and then keep cleaning Ryan.
A momentter, she said, "Uncle Ryan, you''re done."
While putting on the shirt buttons, Ryan said to Amelia, "I''m sorry to trouble you."
Amelia shook the water off her hand and smiled, "No worries. By the way, I have work to do this
afternoon, so I''ll leave you to get some rest."
"Boss!"
Amelia had just finished speaking when a voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Amelia looked back to see a middle-aged woman cautiously walking in with a small boy.
Seeing the somewhat cowardly gaze of the middle-aged woman, Amelia offered a smile, "Hello, I''m
Amelia, and I''m here to visit Uncle Ryan."
"Hello, Miss Amelia!" The middle- aged woman greeted respectfully.
Amelia''s gaze lightly scanned over the little boy who had kept his head down since he''d entered,
she raised her hand, was about to greet the little boy but the middle-aged woman stepped forward
to block her.
The middle-aged womanughed awkwardly, "Miss Amelia! My little boss... is a bit afraid of
strangers and doesn''t really like contact with unfamiliar people."
"Oh, okay." Amelia embarrassedly withdrew her hand.
Aftering out of the hospital, Amelia''s mind kept going back to the little boy''s silence, which felt
familiar, like she''d seen him somewhere before?
The sudden ringing of her cell phone interrupted Amelia''s thoughts and she took the phone out of
her pocket to answer the call.
"Where have you been early in the morning!" By the sound of his voice, Patrick was very angry.
Amelia said calmly, "I just finished visiting Uncle Ryan and aming out of the hospital."

"You visit him again!" Patrick said gloomily.
"Yeah, because I''m worried about him." Amelia said frankly.
Patrick stopped talking and was probably already pissed off at home.
Amelia asked slowly, "Are you done with the questions? Am I free to hang up?"
"Wait!" Patrick shouted angrily, "When are you going home?"
Amelia said, "It''s really stuffy at home. I want to go out for some fresh air. Goodbye!"
"Amelia!" Patrick was afraid Amelia would hang up and growled, his voice so loud it seemed to
prate her eardrums, "If you hang up on me, you will be attacked by Shawn''s fans forever!"
A smile appeared on Amelia''s face as if she was not worried about it at all. She said, "I don''t care,
make yourself please."
Patrick took a deep breath, and the tea- table at home was kicked far away by him. "After I helped
you set up the game and remove all the obstacles, you actually told me you don''t care! How can
you be so mean?"
